Words by George Soane

First performed at Drury Lane Theatre April 29th 1826

Overture -- Here, Aladdin, here -- Are you angry mother? -- Doctor, doctor -- The ring, the little golden ring -- Genius of flame -- Beautiful are the fields of day -- The magic gardens -- Here, here, here -- Nourmahal, Nourmahal -- A hundred, the noblest wait on her throne -- March of the royal slaves -- Hail, gentle master -- Fairy march -- The sun is o'er the mountain -- Sister, I have loved thee well -- At thy spell master, we appear -- Tremble, ye genii in your caves -- Ere the stars of night arise -- New lamps for old -- Who first will strike the deer -- The days of the valley are o'er -- Thou art gone -- That doom is death -- In my bower a lady weeps -- When Unda, the genius of the ring appears -- It is night beneath the sea -- My Araby, my noble steed -- Yet dearer to her the desert wild -- Rapidly fades the shooting start -- Finale
